[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HHH-6179) Schema validator - (PostgreSQL) serial type not recognized as integer

Schema validator - (PostgreSQL) serial type not recognized as integer --------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-6179 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-6179 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Jeroen van Schagen PostgreSQL serial types are not recognized as integers, causing the schema validator to fail in the following situation: CREATE TABLE posts (id serial PRIMARY KEY, message varchar(255), date timestamp) ; @Entity @Table(name = "posts") public class Post { @Id @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY) private Long id; private String message; private Date date; } --- org.hibernate.HibernateException: Wrong column type in public.posts for column id. Found: serial, expected: int8 --- The validator should not fail, because serial types are actually auto-incrementing integer types.
